Fallen #37
"You are not!" I exclaimed while I scrambled some eggs. "Yes, I am!" Scofield yelled back. "Since when?' I asked incredulously. "Uhh, since the day I was born!" He replied as if the answer was obvious. . "You're so full of it! You're just bitter because that cocker spaniel bit you when you were showin' off for that skank, Kate Kate Foreman at the homecoming football game that one year!" I yelled back barely containing my laughter as I played that scene through my mind for the first time in years. "First of all, it was a pit bull, Kate Foreman was not a skank and I was not trying to impress her!" He shot back defensively hoping to stifle everyone's laughter. "Lincoln" I said in a tone that indicated for him to explain what he could recall from that day. He looked at his brother then at me and back to Scofield. "Sorry, Mike but I'm with Cal on this one. It was a black cocker spaniel, Kate Foreman was pretty skanky and you were trying so hard to impress her I thought you were gonna hurt yourself." Lincoln chuckled while he placed a hand on his little brothers' shoulder. "And you're not allergic to dogs." He added as he made his way to the fridge.
Everyone was in the kitchen doing what they could to help prepare breakfast. Since there wasn't much to do some just sat around enjoying the conversation. The current conversation was spawned when L.J. asked if he could get a dog whenever they got where they would be going. Lincoln replied with the classic "We'll see" which for Linc was almost always his way of saying yes and Scofield added "I'm allergic to dogs." His way of telling a bold faced lie.
"You got bit by a dog trying to pick up a chick?" Sucre asked trying not to laugh as he buttered some toast. "To be fair that was one mean cocker!" I said sarcastically. "Yeah, well at least I didn't get caught making out with Ace Freely in the janitors closet!" Scofield exclaimed in a triumphant tone as if he had just revealed my deepest, darkest secret to the entire world. "Thank God you didn't get caught making out with Ace Freely in the janitors closet!" I said with a smirk as I flipped the bacon "Besides, you're forgetting the most important thing. I made it out of that closet $20 richer." I added turning around to face the others. "That's called prostitution, Cal!" L.J. joked. I laughed "That's called the bastard stole my lunch money in the fifth grade. I just took what I had coming too me with a little interest." I explained as I hopped up on the counter next to Lincoln. "Typical Cali the grudge holder." Scofield grumbled. "Hey! I forgive! I just never forget!" I said slyly as there was a knock on the door. "Everyone stay here." I said as I hopped off of the counter and headed for the door. "It's just Veronica." Scofield said as I passed him. "It's probably Veronica." I said as I stopped and looked at him. "Lincoln, my guns in the bureau drawer in the living room." I said before continuing for the door.
"Hey!" I said as I opened the door to reveal my sister and Nick. "Oh my God, Cali! Are you okay?" Veronica exclaimed grabbing my face and looking me over like a mother whose kid had just fallen off of his bike would. I grabbed her hands "I'm fine, V. Just had a run in with a certain ex-con, everything's fine though, no worries!" I explained ushering them inside. "Hungry? We're making breakfast!" I said leading them into the kitchen. "Veronica" Lincoln said breathlessly upon seeing her, my gun stuck in the back of his pants. "Lincoln" she said in the same tone as she rushed to him.
"You really okay?" Nick asked from beside me. "Have I ever lied to you, Mr. Savrinn?" I asked in an offended tone, giving him an innocent look. "A couple of times." He replied with a laugh and a smile. I laughed and punch him in the arm. "Owww!" He whined rubbing his arm. "Big baby!" I said while giving him a sideways hug. "Can we eat now? I'm starving!" L.J. whined after greeting Veronica. I shook my head and chuckled "Big surprise there!"
